THE STATE DEBT.

We are glad to see that the Leg islature and many of the state press are coming out squareiy ln favor of settling the State debt, or taking steps that will lead to its settlement. Debt is a great task master and oppressor, and should be avoided alike by governments as we'll as individuals. And when, by accident or otherwise, either get into debt, the sooner 1t is got ten rid of the better. It is to be hoped the present Legislature will act. in this very important matter, and with due caution, so that the State will not become loser. As nearly two-fhirds of the debt is in terest on the principal, which has been accrueing for years at high rate, it should be scaled, or the best bargain possible made with our creditors. It seems that at least half of the State debt is due the United States, and that the State holds offsets against this part of it to square off that much. Al ter d proper scaling of the accumu- lated interest, it will be easy to fund the debt at a low rate of in- terest, say four or five per cent. Several Southern States pay at this rate on their State debt,a ,and "Uncle Sam only pays two or three per cent now, when forced to borrow. Arkansas is as responsible and able to pay as the United States. The Halliburton bill, now pending in the House, is in the right line, save the six per cent interest clause. Below we give an extract from our able neighbor, the Wash ington Press, on this subject, which we heartily endorse:
 .r "This undisputed debt is a legacy that comes down to us from ante beilum days. It now amounts to 5,l0S, ,j63, os which only s2,OSO,l00 is principal, while S3,o23,5G3 Is accumulated interest. The Halliburton bill
 now pending proposes to scale the accumu- lcted interest and to begin payment on the principal with interest at six per cent. from this time, and for this purpose it proposes to levy a two-nills tax. The annual interest charge would amount to about SPA .000, and two-mills tax would yield, on the pres ent State assessment, about S2S0,000, which, after paying the interest would leave Sl3G, 900 year to be applied to the reduction of the principal of the debt. The United States Government holds about half of the out standing bonds, but the State holds just claims against the Government for large sum due for lands sold and otherwise dispos- ed of. When this amount shall be ascer- tained and balance struck, il is thought the amount found to be still due the general Government from the State will be very email. The entire payment of the balance will be q matter of but very few years

Dear friends, may your path through life be as that of a Christian; may the sunshine of your life be over shadowed by just enough clouds to make the sunset more glorious. and al last may white-robed angels wait to wait thy spirits home to God.
 Forget thee, 'tis bitter sound,

Railroad Values.

The amount of stocks and bonds and other paper, on the l,''o miles of railroads in Arkansas, IS $S8, 200, ,000. That is the par value of all the railroads in the State. The market value of all the rail. roads in Arkansas, exceeding the Arkansas Midland, Batesville and Brinkley, Arkansas and Louisiana, Pacific and Great Eastern, Darda nelle and Russellville, Bentonville, Pine Bluff and Swan Lake, Searcy and West Point, the Arkansas and Indian Territory, and Little Rock Junction railways, averaged in 1886, S6S, 100000. l exclude these minor local roads because they have no stocks aud bonds listed on the stock exchanges. l have de- termined the value of these roads. other than the minor roads by an actual calculation, made from the monthly sales of the stocks and bonds in 1886. This @6S, 100000 represents the naked market value ot the railroads. s.-Iverson A. Jones in Arkansas Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin all the large circle
of public men who mourn the death of General
Logan, none feel the loss more keenly than Sen
ator Allison, of Iowa The two men were closely
linked together in private and senatorial life.
Their names were often spoken about the Capt.
toll in the same breath. They were recognized
leaders, and among those who always examined
with precision and intelligence every measure
which came up for action. They were among
the most ardent committee workers, and for
many years were together in this important
branch of legislation. The country little real
ICES how much of the work in Congress is done
in the quiet committee-room. where the public
eye does not penetrate and the public ear does
not hear. Here crude measures are perfected
and made ready for final action by the full
body; and here Logan and Allison, although
know world wide as remarkably strong debat-
ers have done that which has been most effect
ive yet which has created least comment.
At the time OF his death Senator Logan was a
member of the committee on appropriations, OF
which Senator Allison is chairman. In many
| respects the two men were very similar in char
acter, and being in daily contact with each
other it is not strange that they became very
warmly attached to one another No man ever
had more steadfast or enthusiastic friend than

ate beyond any reasonable doubt Mr. Benedict
has admitted that he never served an appren-

law specially prescribes that he must be prac-
teal printer and have a knowledge of binding
Major Farquhar, who drafted the present law
the subject, says that there is not the least
question that a man cannot come within the
scope of the law unless he has served as an ap-
prentice; that the words practical printer" were
employed to designate those who served an ap-
premiership and to bar out ''scabs"-men who
have a mere smattering of the art, such as one
gets by hanging around printing Offices. The
question is ore, he says, involving the Knights
of Labor organization and all trades-unions
They demand that only one who has served an
apprenticeship shall be eligible. Mr.. Benedict's
appointment was personal act of President
Cleveland, and 1t seems to have been blunder.

in Washington as ''the men who never get left. !"
Often seen together at public places, they seldom

those who control affairs. Where banquet
dinner, lunch, theater party of public men, and
the various ct ceteras are given there one sees
Black and Colman. So often they out to
these events that the public inquiries of one
where the other is should he not be in sight At
the White House week ago to-day this duet
entered the Green Room on the very heels of the
notables, leading looker-o to remark:
Here come two men who are never left on
anything. They every, here. are first served,
get the best Of all that is going, and catch to
the froth of official life better than anybody I've
ever heard of. It's amusing They had not been
in Office week till they taking in every
thing going. There seems to be destiny in the
lives of those fellows that shapes them to the
good things, look for them or no. There hasn't
been a public or private affair going here since
they came into Office that both of them missed.
